Giuliani adviser rebukes assertion

On Tuesday, Shock also described Mike Roman, who was Trump's director of Election Day operations, as an unindicted conspirator.

"Are there other unindicted co-conspirators?" Silverthorn asked Wednesday. "I am going to read you a list of names.”

"Former President Trump?" Silverthorn asked.

"Yes," Shock replied.

A spokesman for Trump's campaign didn't immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment.

Shock also said Wednesday that Jenna Ellis and Kenneth Chesebro, two lawyers who worked with the Trump campaign in the weeks after the Nov. 3, 2020, presidential election, are also unindicted co-conspirators, along with Chris Velasco, who worked for Trump's campaign in Michigan.

The objective of the electors' effort was to bolster claims that the election was "rigged" and ultimately "void the results favoring" Biden, wrote Chesebro, who helped create the electors plan, in a Jan. 1, 2021, email to Boris Epshteyn, a top Trump adviser.

Ellis appeared with Giuliani in Lansing during a Dec. 2, 2020, hearing of the Michigan House Oversight Committee on unproven claims of election fraud. During the meeting, Giuliani urged Michigan lawmakers to intervene in the results of the election.

Ted Goodman, a political adviser to Giuliani, said the "continued weaponization of our justice system should concern all Michiganders and Americans."
